SADDEST MOVIE MOMENT (spoilers)

[NEON MERCURY]

SPOILER FOR AMORES PERROS



the ones already mentioned are great but will add a few more..not mentioned.

the end of the second act..billboard.....depressing..



SPOILER FOR THE THIN RED LINE

the death of jim Chaviezel's character and..ben chaplain s cheating wife..very sad...

[kotte]

Don't you think scenes like the death of Bambis mother can be too powerful for kids...I mean if it gets adults to cry...

[Sleuth]

I was watching I Love the 70s and I was reminded of Charlotte's Web

[parenthetical guy]

Cinema Paradiso - kisses montage
It's A Wonderful Life - "...to my big brother George, the richest man in town..."
The Joy Luck Club - "I see you"
ET - but not now as much as back in '82
The Elephant Man - the theatre

agree with Lorenzo's Oil, too, I don't have a strong memory (a list of people saved by the oil fading in?) of it either

[Find Your Magali]

Some more:

1. End of "Lucas," when he gets the jacket out of the locker, while the whole student body, including the evil football players, is clapping.

2. End of "Same Time, New Year," when it looks like Alda Alda is walking out on Ellen Burstyn, his true once-a-year love, for good...

3. End of "Babe," when the everything goes perfectly silent as Babe herds the final sheep into the pen, and the only thing you can hear is the click of the gate shutting, and then the crowd erupts.

EDIT: Oh wait, I appear to be mixing "moments that make me cry" with "saddest moments" ... or did we end up doing that anyway? Oh jeez.....

[rustinglass]

- Shawshank Redemption - when Red (Freeman) meets Andy (Robbins) in the Caribbean

actually it was the pacific. But I think that is one of the least sadest moments of the film.

[Myxo]

- All of Kieslowski's "Blue"

- Schindler's List: Liam Neeson says goodbye to the Jews. He looks at his car and wonders why he didn't sell it to save more Jews.

- Magnolia: Frank's breakdown at his father's bedside.

- Dances With Wolves: Those bastards kill the wolf.

Just a few.. I'm at work, and I can't think straight right now.

[AK]

Cinema Paradiso

Breaking The waves and L'a Strada (call me crazy but Watson's character reminds me a lot of Masina's one , so i used to connect the two and find   **spoiler**their dead too sad)

Magnolia ( the wise up moment : pretty sad to say "It's not going to stop , so just give up!")

And the sadiest movie end ever: JULES ET JIM....

[Vile5]

-Schindler's List: when jewish mothers see how their children are taked by germans on trucks

-Il Postino: when his wife tells Pablo Neruda that Mario Ruoppolo is dead

...i don't remember more movies maybe later

[AK]

-Il Postino: when his wife tells Pablo Neruda that Mario Ruoppolo is dead

I completely forgot Il postino....such a mellow movie

And I also remember The pianist....when the family has to separate from Wadyslaw in the train.

GOD DAMN SPOILER!!

Another is when the nazis throw the old man in the wheel chair out of the window, with this one your first feeling might be an incommensurable rage, but if you look at their family, you can't help but feel (rage too) but a tremendous sadness.

[Banky]

In Jerry Maguire when Rod Tidwell mentions Jerry in his interview with ESPN at the end.  Wow i definatly lose it every time.

[AK]

All those moments in the pianist are more shocking than sad in my opinion...

**SPOILER**

Other example is that (wonderful) scene when he is walking on the street and diverting from the body of dead kid like it was a rock in the middle of the way!....that makes the movie a punch in the stomach....all the cruelty becomes routine.

[MrBurgerKing]

The saddest movie moments for me are the ends of good movies, when the credits come up. Because now we are getting sucked back into the realities, a reality in which sexually repressed men prey on little kiddies, a reality which includes McDonalds being the #1 fast food chain in the country. Let me reiterate that like a lawyer, because I don't think you understand, a reality which includes McDonalds being the # 1 fast food chain in the country. Let me say it one more time so you can finally understand the absurdities in it: a reality which includes McDonalds being the #1 fast food chain in the country. What the hell, this is already the worst post I've ever written, I might as well say it again: McDonalds is the #1 fast food chain in the country. And trust me, I try to forget it, but I need this as a reminder in my life, similar to why we all need Nazis in our memories. McDonalds and Nazi's are one in the same, existing for the sole purpose of destroying humanity.

Okay, if you don't understand what I'm getting at here, let me ask whether or not you think a sexually repressed pedophile should run a day-care center?
